These two plants were grown from small bulbs (about the size of snowdrops) that I purchased at the Gardening Scotland show earlier this year. They were rather expensive at £5 each but, in my opinion, they were well worth every penny. They are totally hardy and certainly create lots of interest from any visitors I have.

Amazing colour, very unusual. I bet you are the only one on the street with them Eileen Making the neighbours jealous.
Never have a seen anything like it. I'm going to check to see if we grow them here. I hope sooooooooo.
The flowers are supposed to last at least two to three weeks but sadly they don't have a scent. I'm definately the only one in the whole village with them and I'm chuffed to bits that they've flowered for me. I'm hoping that the bulbs will multiply as I'd love to have a patch of them in the garden. Let's hope they overwinter well.
